The Wretched Masquerade
Oh, oh no The sphere in which you call your home is dying day by day No longer can I hide behind my tears Never thought you would be so ashamed, no Never did you think you would be living out your fears Did it ever enter any of your narrow minds? Your biggest fear's the punishment for violence Very soon you will receive the treatment you deserve The deadly price you pay will soon be silence Thеre's a shadow on the sun Something must bе done Alternatives are none And there's nowhere left to run From silence, silence, silence The silent treatment Confusion sets, dwelling in my mind Anger builds, aggression starts to form The world seen through a block of ice, it shatters Nothing matters, my weaknesses are being preyed upon Passing generations lost their sight as so did we Giving children something to believe Although dishonest justice reigns and evil is set free Eternal harmony must be achieved, but... There's a shadow on the sun Something must be done Alternatives are none And there's nowhere left to run From silence, silence, silence The silent treatment Silence Silence There's a shadow on the sun Something must be done Alternatives are none And there's nowhere left to run From silence, silence, silence The silent treatment Silence, silence, silence The silent treatment Silence, silence The silent treatment

Brainwashed adolescence, so naive In a world of magic dust and make believe Eyes flashing red like alarms in your head The dealer is death, don't be deceived Billions of dollars, billions of deaths I watch the population decline Tru to forgive, try to forget They're taking lives but they can't mine Chemical hatred burns within, Committing governmental sin Ignorant wisdom, digits so great, Victims earn their title "late" The disillusioned don't believe the truth When body bags are wasted on the youth Provided every day by the taxes that we pay The body count should be sufficient proof [Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus] [Repeat Chorus] Chemical hate Chemical hatred

It's late, I've been growing tired, and I don't wanna wear The straight jacket they require, for this black-tie affair This black-tie affair Well, every day feels like the night Just wish I could see the light The scene is always darkest right Before it all goes black Hypochondriac I might be on my back but I'm still alive (I'm still alive) Unwell thoughts of every kind, clouding up like smoke I'm held hostage in my mind, without a ransom note Without a ransom note Close my eyes and count to ten Try resetting once again But everything looks darker when The lights are glowing black Hypochondriac I might be on my back but I'm still alive (I'm still alive) Hypochondriac When anxiety attacks, I will survive (I will survive...) Every day feels like the night Future doesn't look so bright Things are always darkest right Before it all goes black Always feeling sick as hell Will I die? Too soon to tell Afraid of never getting well Hypochondriac

In this world of death and pain where eden lies obscured Illogical non-thinkers rule the land A false determination lives while love and hatred breed The seed of doom si planted in the sand The hands of time are going old, decrepit form disease It's much too late to wast the time we spend Chaotic is the future and forgotten is the past Through crying eyes, I see my bitter end I can see the blinding light of truth Now in darkness, in absence of my youth I can feel a change of attitude I realize now, in my solitude I thought at an early age that I was incollate So in need of feeling something else Without the equal positives and negatives in life I would never satisfy myself No more cryptic mystery, no puzzle to solve In solitude, I cannot take a breath There's an unfamiliar taste where the flavor was erased Turns out the missing puzzle piece was death [Repeat Chorus] [Repeat Chorus 2X]

Deviate, manipulate, your pain is felt within Deep inside your twisted mind, you're guiltier than sin Thinking we’re all blind and we believe your every word Ignorance and arrogance your mind games are absurd Puppetmaster we're going for the throat So play the part then burn the script you wrote Tyranny is gonna follow you 'til death Deceiver, I pray until you breathe your final breath Breathe your final breath Ruler of defiance, the world is in your hand If we say we don’t obey, you'll make us understand Salute injustice, tip your hat, a king without a crown As solitude envelopes you it all comes crashing down Puppetmaster we're going for the throat So play the part then burn the script you wrote Tyranny is gonna follow you 'til death Deceiver, I pray until you breathe your final breath Deceitful one Don't you know what you're doing? Playing the Pied Piper's flute And leading the mice to ruin Behind your wretched masquerade, hides nothing but a fool Enslaving all until we fall becoming helpless tools Listen up, we've risen up, we’ve got you by the balls The angel of no mercy dies, the iron curtain falls Puppetmaster we’re going for the throat So play the part then burn the script you wrote Tyranny is gonna follow you 'til death Deceiver, I pray until you breathe your final breath Puppetmaster we’re going for the throat So play the part then burn the script you wrote Tyranny is gonna follow you 'til death Deceiver, I pray until you breathe your final breath I pray until you breathe your very last breath

Sharp as a marble, you've got an empty head You probably don't even understand what I just said Figured you'd get better but you're only getting worse I think if you were any slower, you'd be in reverse Idiot, such a shame Cretin is your middle name Stupidity, too dumb to teach Knowledge far beyond your reach Idiot - such a shame Cretin is your middle name Too ignorant to teach Common sense is out of reach A waste of human in flesh is breathing up my air You'd fail your own IQ test and you wouldn't even care Obtuse and always foolish, won't ever change You'd be dangerous if you had brains [Repeat Chorus] Now at least we know you were born a rotten seed My disdain is growing like a bad weed One thing for sure, they didn't lie when you were told When god made you, he broke the mold [Repeat Chorus]

Tommy was a decent kid With a good head on his shoulders As a rule, he looked up to anybody older "Respect your elders" he was told, Until he came too close Now he's dancing with the devil 'Cause he overdosed I still recall the day I stumbled Through his bathroom door And the way I found him: Face down on the floor He wouldn't listen to me, no. That it would do him harm Then Tommy left us, He still had the needle in his arm Crash and burn Well, we still go see him now and then And bring him pretty flowers Life was sweet for Tommy. But that sweetness just went sour He can't talk back but if he could, I know just what he'd say "I should have listened, but I didn't. Now I've hell to pay" Crash and burn Watch the children, live and learn Fallen angels crash and burn Watch the children, live and learn Fallen angel
